2 years back I got from KC optical and I thought it was crazy expensive but I was stupid and desperate and just got it, close to 10k baht from and 7k lenses, ridiculous, didnt feel right, my weakness still annoys me. Went to Charoen Optical but they didnt even have an eye test machine.
After snapping my frame now same place again now wants min 5k for just the lenses. I see a cheaper one on the brochure for 3.5 but they basically trying to hide it and say no, cant have, it bad, <deleted>. Get serious rip-offs vibes from that place or are these prices normal?
According to my Thai colleague a decent reasonable price for lenses is actually around 2-3k baht not 5k. Is this correct?
Where can I can go in Chiang Mai that actually has a proper eye test and English and reasonable prices or any is there another way method to save money on this, maybe an online service?
I also have my old expensive pair that are just snapped clean in the middle bridge, they won fix it for me. They prob can but rather want more money from replacement instead.
Any way I can simply get these fixed somewhere, Seems it should be easy to get the metal frame joined or glued somehow with such a clean break? (yeah im cheap i dont care, if it works it works).
Also any type of lenses i should make sure I get at a minimum quality level, something mentioned about coating for computer work to make it easier, I sit at pc all day.. Basically dont want to get the cheapest rubbish but the middle ground value for money, 2-3k if possible.
Any advice? Thanks friends.
